We were in a lesson and I taught him something and he asked me "why"?

I told him that my teacher told me to do it that way and his teacher told him to do it that way and when you think about it, it really makes musical sense.

He asked me who is my teacher and I told him Charlie Schlueter and his teacher was William Vacchiano. I explained who each of them are and I all of the sudden got a chill or weird feeling thinking about it.
The teaching went through four generations.

I can't go to lessons like I want to so I record myself all the time and listen. I am constantly thinking what Charlie would say listening to me playing and then I record it again and try to change things.
